Welcome to the Diabetes Education and Information Resource

As the UK’s population lives longer, more people are living in care homes or being cared for in their own homes. It is estimated that in the UK the current residential and nursing care home population of 450,000 will increase to 1,130,000 in the next 50 years. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 4 care home residents may have diabetes but there are many within care homes that have undiagnosed diabetes.

The aim of this resource is:

This resource is aimed at people who are caring for older adults with diabetes (in particular a care home/nursing home setting). Our resources are here to help you better your understanding and knowledge of diabetes. If you suspect that someone you care for may be unaware they have symptoms, inform the GP or usual health care professional.
